About this worksheet

Points on the same row of a coordinate grid have the same second number, and points in the same column have the same first number, so the distance between them is found by counting squares or subtracting. On this fifth grade sheet two coordinate grids are printed, one with three points in a row and one with three points in a column, and a child writes how many units apart each pair is. Each version has a different grid and different points, and the answer key gives all six distances.

What your child will learn

  • Read points on a grid
  • Count the units between two points
  • Subtract to find a distance
  • Tell a row from a column

Common Core standard: 5.G.A.2

Worked example

Points at (2, 3) and (8, 3) are on the same row, 8 − 2 = 6 units apart.

Common mistake

Counting the points themselves instead of the spaces between them.

Helpful hint

Count the spaces between the two points along the grid line, or subtract the numbers that differ.
